GENERAL ELECTION. COUNTY OF NORTHUMBERLAND. Ai.wwwx, Jurtz. 28. .1n consequence of the abrupt dissolution of the hustings last evening, by the High Sheriff, Lord Howick, accompanied by the Hon. C. Grey, Gen. Kerr, Sir M. W. Ridley, Bart., Mr. J. G. Lambton, Mr. Bacon Grey, Mr. Grey, of Milifield, and twelve other friends, repaired, at 12 o'clock this day, to the High Sheriff, who was in the Assessor's Court, and formally de livered in a written protest against the High Sheriff's conduct yesterday. Mr.. PARK, the Barrister, who acts as Assessor for tbs. High Sheriff, declared that he had the power by law, and had done right to dissolve the meeting, when be, observed symptoms of tumult. At 6 o'clock, the Diputy-Sherift announced the state (of the poll in the following terms : Liddell - -1,30 b 1 Beaumont Bell- 1,226 1 Howick 1,056 901 Mr. LiDDELL again congratulated his friends upon his retaining his place at the bud of the poll, which hi had foretold would have been the case. He had no wish to use irritating language, for he could stand a little badger-baiting, now that he was in so distinguished a place. He was charged with looking into his hat for his speech ; now he saw no words in his hat but " warranted waterproof"--a very good protection on so tempestuous a day as this. Mr. Betz. also returned thanks, and again denounced the unna tural coalition which had been formed between Mr. Liddell and Mr. Beaurnont, and contrasted it with the frank, honourable, and manircomluct of Lord Howick., Mr. Beaustozer said, that he would give his friend, Mr. Bell, an opportunity of hearing his sentiments this day, on what he had called a monstrous coalition. Now with respect to the affection said to he borne for Lord H. in the county, pod forbid that he should attempt to depreciate either that, or his talents, which are said to be only next to Mr. Brougham's, as his good nature was only second to Sir James Mackintosh's. But, bow could either that Noble Lord or Mr. Bell venture to talk of coalition, when they had themselves entered into one which would henceforth make the name 'of Northumberland Whig a by-word in the streets of London. 'He was himself called a Radical. If wishing a ra dical redress of public wrongs—if meaning to apply the axe to the root of the evil, were radicalism, then, indeed, he was a Radical, and . eloried in the name. He was not one of thou who rejected the aid of others, becausrthey were not reared in his own school ; qn the contrary, feeing that the end sanctified the means, he (Mr. Beaumont) would avail himself of any aid which was proffered to him, in the prosecution of the good work. Ile then went on to censure, in the severest terms, the conduct of Mr. Grey, of Millfietd, who had, yesterday, contrary to all the prac tices of gentlemen, disclosed on the hinting., in the face of the public, the particulars of a private conversation which be had had with him respecting the last election. He next arraigned Lord Howick for, at a time when he admitted 'he had no hopes of success himself, coming forward day after day to play the game of the election for a high Tory Candidate, and pronounced a severe philippic upon such inconsistent public conduct. Lord Howice repelled the accusation in 'very strong terms, and avowed that he had requested his friends to give their second votes to Mr. Bell, believing him to he a fair and manly political anta gonist, and for the purpose of defeating the machinations of the person. who, with principles of reform on his lips, bud done all in his power to put down the freedom of election. Ile then adverted to Mr. Beaumont's attacks upon Mr. Grey, of Alillfield, as un manly, when he knew it to be the High Sheriff e intention to dis solve the meeting after the candidates spoke, and thereby afford the candidate an opportunity of attack, without the fear of a reply. He (Lord Howick) would, however, oblige Mr. Liddell to hear this day, the historical fact, that his father had garrisoned Ravens worth, to protect himself from the Radicals, and had even got the Military Commandant of Newsastle, to inspect the fortifications, and lee that all was safe against the apprehended attack. Mr. Garr (of Millfield) vainly attempted to obtain a hearing, and the High Sheriff dissolved the hustings. SOMERSETSHIRE.-r-Tnuasnsv, iota 29. The'ioters came in this morning rather more briskly than yes terdaybut still very tardily. About two O'clock the gentry of the neighbourhood pressed to the hUstings, in expectation of the poll heiny closed at three; and Sir Thomas Lethbridge and Mr. Dickinson took their stations on the platform. A little before three Mr. Dont, attended by his friend Mr. Itaywatd, and by his sons, also pressed through the crdwd, end came up chose to the other Candidates. Mr. Ca sawnt,--Before I pull, 1 wish to ask Sir Thomas Lethbridge and Mr. Dickinson whether they ever "tateti, that any freeholder who voted for Mr. Hunt was either a dishonest or a de holed mdn ? Sir T. LYTIHRRIDIa-1. do not 4.llooNeto answer you. ._ . . . r,. CRESWELL—Ai a freehohler of this county I have a right, Sir, to demand all answer. I wish to know whether the repre sentations to this effect in the Tithes newspaper, which at my own houie, and whilst engaged in the Taunton Election, I have open, are true or false. , 1 The Simms, in a.very kind manner, expressed his doubts if ' this was the proper time to ask these question/1. Mr. Clutcwri.i.—Sir, I ask the question now. 1 ask it be fore you, Mr. Sheriff; and if it is nut answered, I will dare to' say to Mr. Dickinson and Sir. Thomas Lethbridge, that they have' lost sight of what was due to their characters as men and as gentlemen. , The Sheriff was preparing to speak, when there arose a cry of "Sheriff, Sheriff!" and clamour. iilr. Creswell folded up his arms, and stood in a waiting pos- tub HIGH Harmer—You *ball be heard, Sir, by and by, I assure you. M r . beg to speak to order. Mr. Crowell or al freeholder has a right to be heard, and to ask any queition he pleases, before he polls. The answer may determine his vote. The Hon Sumer, having consulted the Under Sherif and the Clerk of the Peace, said, " Sir, I find I was in error ; you are quite right ; proceed, Sir, if you please." Mr. Caiswet,L—Mr. Dickinson will perhaps answer my question, if Sir Thomas Lethbridge is not man enough to do it. (Mr. Dickinson rose, and stood up in a very firm and undis mayed position.)--1 ask you, Mr. Dickinson, whether you have or hive not used language tantamount to thist:—" Those who vote for Mr. Hunt an' either deluded men, or they are rogues." ask you, Sir, as a gentleman, for an answer. Mr. Dicstiesox—l do not recollect making use of any such expression. lam totally s at a loss to understand why I should utter any such sentiment. I should have no right to say so. Mr. "Sroccor -(addressing himself to Mr. Creswell)—lf you asked mewhether 1 considered you a deluded man or a rogue, I should' give you a direct snow. M r . D ic emeou.....l say to you, Mr. Crowell, I do not recol lect hiving need any such expressions as those you allude to. Mr. iltrwr—l understood Mr. Dickinson to use words to this effect; hut 1 am glad that all parties, except Sir Thom" die "WM it. Mr. Iltrictesox—l sever said it. Durex Haewsan—Sir T. Lethbridge said no honest man ' tem pi vote for Mr. Hunt. I look now. in Sir Thomas Lethbr id ge , * tom. 1 can show as honest a face as he can. 1 have polled now, though 7 bad nut then (looking Sir Thomas full in the face) ; tell me so now Let,ltbridge. The Sul:airy called to order 1 Mr. HUNT (looking at Sir Thomas)....The smallest freeholder has a right to make any observation, or to ask any, question he pleases here. Sir Tttossas—l did not call to order. Mr. Hoer (contemptuously).—.Von call to order ! I say every freeholder, however humble, has .as much right to he heard here acs this poor creature (pointing to Sir Thomas) who stands near roe at this moment. Mr. Sweaty—l am glad to see the gentlemen here who re port for the public papers ; the report of what I said is incorrect, inasmuch as tkie.—(l hope the Times Repoer is lune, that he ma y native what I say). What I said was this : that the voter who polled for Mr. Hunt Svcs either deluded or disgraced, and not that he was a rogue.—(To Mr. Creswell)—And I think yon, at a cl e rgyman; disgrace yourself by - the part you take in this election. Mr. C at swst.r.-r-Disgrace myself, Sir, who are you? who was your father or your grandfather ?•--Cry, "He dots not know hirosele)--that yon dare to tell me that Id isgrace myself? Did not I you, Sir, say, that if Mr. Hunt wee retained you would love tho county ? Pity but }qui had doniso long ay; a po o r man m i g h t • then have eat his salt without payirtg you a If* ; end, but for you, •we might hare had the finest canal in the - Werld through this county, bringing ships up tAour very.hotnes,'end interchanging the pr o d uc t, ' of o ur i o duttry with all the world.'Wa ecould dotor very well without you—you are a coal-merchant and mortopo; • "d Yent - nal lore the.

Snzater.—That is very handsome. Mr. Barrry..:--That is very fair. Mr. Ilunr.—l have sent to request those who were coming to stay at home. There is no disingenuousness about me. I think ample time has been given. After what the Sheriff has said and done, they will not come ; anti I think it would be unfair towards the other candidatei and me, if the poll were kept open. Mr. Barmr—Mr. Hunt, I am going to propose a question to you, to which you can give me, and I think you will give me a plain answer. "Do you decline the contest, and if it is closed to day, will you consider yourself as a Candidate afterwards?" • Mr. Ilttxr-MOst unequivocally I say, 'No; certainty not. Sir T. LETIIBRIDGE-.4 don't disavow one word of what I have uttered. Mr..llol—No, no. When we spoke of gentlemen, you were far from.our thoughts.—(Laughter, and cheers.) ' The Sheriff then Stated the numbers nn the poll for the daY.— They were as follow Dickinson Lethbridge - Hunt The Stumm then, with the accustomed formalities, closed the poll e declared the numbers to be, for Mr. Dickinson IBl9—for Sir Thomas Lethbridge I.7l9—and for Mr. Hunt 809 ; and an nounced that the two former Gentlemen were elected fit and dis creet knights to re resent. the county of Somerset in Parliament. (Cheers and hisses.) Mr. Dictritrsow, in addressing the freeholders, admitted the propriety of Mr. Creswell'a question to him as a Candidate.— (Cheers.) • Sir THOMAS LETHBRIDGE....Ii is my duty to fellow the ex ample of my excellent friend, and I rejoice to have it in my power to say, my colleague in the representation. # Mr. 0. HAYWARD.—Yon never ,yet represented the county, Lethbridge.---(Cheers and laughter). Sir T. LETHBRIDGE—II is not by threats from high or low that I am to he prevented from pursuing steps which I am sure will lead to the good of my country. There is no fear in my nit tore. Will any one tell me that I ought to recal one word of what I have uttered? Mr. CRESWELI.—Yes. What have you 'Wed about the 300 freeholders who have polled for Mr. Hunt ? • Retract that base declaration.—(Great uproar). The Stumm here rose, and requested that Mr. Creswell would allow Sir Thomas to proceed, and then reply to him. Mr. Cerawr.l.l.—No, he asks us whether there is a word which he is bound to recal. I'll have his answer now. I ask him whether he dare to repeat what the Times newspaper states he asserted. I have voted for Mr. Hunt, and I ask hint whether be calls me, or thinks me a rogue?—(Great tumult). All the Attornies rose and hissed and groaned, and cried " Turn him out, turn him out." Mr. Carswett.—No man shall dare to lay his hand on me. Au Attorney, who has been very active in hissing Mr. Hunt, and applauding Sir Thomas Lethbridge, from the commencement of this contest, cried out " Turn out that person." Mr. OLIVER HAYWARD (to the Attorney)—Why don't you turn him nut yourself, you land shark? ATTORNEY (in a rage)-4! not I, indeed: that would be a breach of the peace. Mr. Haywaan—Why you come here to incite others to break the peace, in order that you may fill your pockets. You with to see others do what you are afraid to do yourself, you attorney ! (Laughter). Mr. CRESWILL—I have Sir Thomas Lethbridge upon this point, and pin him to it. Sir THOMAS—It would be as well if the Rev. Gent. would hold his tongue. Mr. Crteswst,L—Have you spoken as the Times reports you have? I'll not stantl personal abuse from any man breathing, and certainly not from a Candidate. A LAwryt—Silence! Shame! Mr. Carawart.—Mr. High Sheriff, desire that lawyer nut to dare to interfere. Sir THOMAS LETHBRIDGE said he would not give up his right of addressing the. freeholders. He found that he was once more their pure and disinterested Representative—(laughter, hisses, and applause,)---and nothing should shackle his operations in Parlia ment. He would act conscientiously, and without fear.- •He concluded by expressing his gratitude to the freeholders who voted for him. Mc. Causwett.—l should not have interrupted this Candi date, Mr. High Sheriff, if he had been as candid as the other per sons who were questioned ware. • I sek him. whether he con., elders us who have voted for Mr. Runt rogues, or vagabonds, or deluded roan? Sir 'l'. Licrneatnnr.-111 return the same answer I have el ready given.--I shall nut austver.—(Luti uproar, and cries of " You're afraid.") • Mr. Hamann—Then, Lethbridge, you have proved your self a blaCkguard, a liar; and a coward ! I repeat it: . Here every one in Court rose, and nothing less than an en gagement on the spot was expected ; but Mr. Hunt and Mr. Dickinson stood between Sir Thomas and Mr. Hayward, the latter of whom seemed very anxion to come in contact with the lion. Baronet. Some of that respectable troop, the atturnies, began to take notes, in expectation, no doubt, of a job, but they were dis appointed. CRESWEI.I. aeon, called upon Sir T. Lethbridge to avow or deny the use of the ailerons* words, but in vain. The 'Baronet refuted to say another word. Mr. Hui4T then rose, amiclet'the loudest cheers---I um, said he sorry that I have to address the freeholder. at a time when tome of them appear to he in a state of fermented feeling. I shall re turn home to my blacking men.--(Laughter.)---I sin perfectly satisfied with the contest, and I shall feel no, shame in going round to my honest freeholders, and in eating bread and cheese, and drinking either with them, on my way home. Before I retire, I shall show you that I am not ashamed of my trade, and that I . bear no resentment. I therefore present to Mr. Dickinson and to Sir Thomas Lethbridge a bottle of my best blacking, my real matchless,—,(Roars of laughter whilst he handed over the bottle to Mr. Dickinson, who received it in the very best humour,)-1 had but one left, and I thought of sending for another, but one will do. You have been in the habit of splitting votes, and you may split my bottle of blacking between you.—(Roars of laughter, in which all the Magistrates, and the Lawyer', and the Clergy joined.) Mr. DICEINSON—As I have received thia present in public, I think it necessary to return to the Gentleman who has given it to, me my mast unfeigned thanks for my half of hie bottle of best blacking.,—(Continued laughing.) Sir T. Ltrunatnox, who never smiled during this exhibition, said, I have no explanation to make, but I hope my Hon. Friend will keep the whole bottle of best blacking to himself. Thanks were voted unanimously, and with three cheers, to the Sheriff, for his conduct during the election,. and thus ended this never-to-be-forgotten contest for Somersetshire. The Members were afterwards chaired round the town, and Mr. Htint went down in his barouche to dine with his friend Oliver Hayward, the honest yeoman at Mulford, where he had been fishing all the morning. - 34 WESTMORLAND. WEDN/SDAY-...SIXTH DAY. The polling this morning went on as briskly as usual, and with out the slightest disturbance. At five o'clock the Under Alma appeared on the hustinge, and announced the state of the poll as follows:- - Lord Lowther - -241 i - Colonel Lowther -22 ti Mr. Brougham - - - 214 Total 1,384 - - 1,327 1,143 Majority for - Colonel Lowther over Mr. Brougham— 184. Lord LOWTIIIR then addressed the elector', which the state of the poll, he said, entitled him to do, beflue the other candidates. Indeed, his situation not only on the poll, but on the gross poll also, entitled him to that precedence which he sincerely hoped their support would enable him to preserve to the . conclusion of the contest .—( Cheers. )_l -le was not flushed by h is success, not withstanding the great rush his opponent had threatened them with upon that day, and his failure of heading the poll, as he had 11 expected.—(Cheers.)—" should trespass no farther on the i r patience ; but he wished them a good evening, and expressed a hope that he should see them again to-morrow.—(Cheers.) Colonel Lowntea then addressed the freeholders, but the cla mour was so incessant that it was for some time impossible to hear a word that he uttered, Notwithstanding , he said, when we did hear him, all that had been said at to their strength being ex hausted while their opponents were coming with fresh vi g our to the P° ll -'-ootwithettriding all this, they were still at the head of the P idL- " . ( Ch eers.>•--He would then take his leave, con fident ,thetthat they.would contin ue to hi m th e i r s upport as they had h itherto done, and keep hint .in the Proud situation which he, then occupied on the poll.—(Chears, end ;narks of disapprobation.) Mr. Damien-Ikm now preikent e d hi mse lf, a nd was received with enthusiastic cheers. Ile nee e di ng l y diff ere d he raid, with the Gallant C olonel in the opinion whi c h h e h a d j ot expres sed, as he had the msfortune to do in moat others that he had entertained. wits extremely sorry, as a friend to the trade and inennfacturers of the country in all the brinehes,--and it griev ed him to inform them that a considerable blow had been recently struck at a branch of manufacture.which had hitherto been most ti our ai ng ....such A blow is it would be very difflcult for it to rec°- ver—he meant the manufacture of mushrooms--(Great cheering and laughter)—it was a painful thing to bear in times like the present, when all branches almost of trade were labouring under great distress, when so many deserving people engaged in the manufactures of the county were deeply involved, that instead of matters getting better, the general distress should have, extended itself to another branch of trade which had before been thriving. —(A laugh.)---He wished well to all branches of manufac. hire of an honest description, as doubtless he ought to do ; but if the trade which he had just mentioned was of that des cription, he should have heard of its destruction with a mttch heavier heart than he did at that moment. But how was ifpos sible to find words to express the feelings with which, not him self, but some persons at no great distance from him, would hear of the total bankruptcy, the absolute failure of that trade—a failure so complete, that he had been informed . that the dealers must shut up shop, the manufacture being utterly destroyed.-4 Great laughter.)—They could, have no more ketchup for the ensuing six months.—(Great laughter.)—He wished that this matter had been discovered forty-eight hews sooner, fur the fact was, that a flaw had been found in the titles by which these mushrooms voted. There were therefore no more - mushrooms to be grown, or at all events no more could be brought to the poll, for if they were, they could only be subjected to the eeremeny of going round to the Assessor's booth, where they would be immediately rejected.— (Cheers.)—He was, however sorry to tell them, that before it was discovered, forty or fifty of such votes had been placed upon the poll.—(Cries of " Bolton and Sill's 'votes.")-.-He entertained great hopes, however, that the Blnes would not render it neces sary for him to go elsewhere to have the matter set right, but enable him to carry through the election successfully, without having to apply to the House of Commons to have these mush rooms removed from the poll.--(Cheers.)—He should then take his leave of them. He would not thank them for their exertions, for they were fighting their own cause jointly with him ; but be would congratulate them in having made such exertions hitherto, and he gave them joy of their unabated seal and perseverance, for without perseverance to temper and sustain their zeal, it would be as nothing—but with perseverance, it must lead to success.— (Cheers.) Mr. WYBURCIII then came forward and said, he was sorry to observe, that in the very excellent speech which they had just heard from his friend, Henry Brougham, there had been omitted one observation which the speech of the'Noble Lord called forth. The Noble Lord (Lowther) had protested against the' introduc tion of the Pope into England, and declared that he would not suffer him to ride rough-shod through this county. He agreed With the Noble Lord, that the old wowan.called the Pope, ought not to be allowed to ride rough-shod through the county: but there was another person who ought not to he permitted to ride rough-shod through that county, and that was the Lord Lieute nant.---(Cheers. ) The Meeting then quietly dispersed. TIIURSDAT MORNING. The polling is going on briskly.' Every thing is very quiet— i there is no longer any mention of calling in the military, and it is only due to Lord Lowther to state, that he was opposed to the introduction of the military at all: The bands are parading the streets, and every thing wears a busy aspect. Mr. Brougham's speech of last night has created a great sensation amongst the Blues, and they now begin to entertain pretty confident hopes of success. It is now impossible to state when the poll will dotal, certainly not before Saturday evening. BEITISII PRESS OFFICE, EIGHT o'CLocx. We stop the Press to announce the following important intelli gence from Westmoreland, received by express:— REPORTED RESIGNATION OF MR. BROUGHAM. It is stated that notwithstanding the decision of the assessors against the " mushroom votes," many were, polled during Thurs day, the legality of which was questioned by Mr. Brougham.--. In consequence of that day's proceedings, it is reported that Mr. Brougham declined continuing the contest, and announced his intention of petitioning Parliament against the election. This re sult, so unexpected after what occurred on Wednesday, is rendered more than probable by the state of the poll on its close on Thursday evening; when Mr. Brougham was left 804 ! below Col. Lowther. The numbers were as follow Lord Lowther Colonel Lowther Mr. Proughent .COLOMBIA: 1638 1666 1262 (From the .Timst.) An arrival:6lml Colombia yesterday Oa the hontl-holders on the alert to ascertain what preepeet exiotail of a remittance for the dividends, hut at the date of the advice* from Bogota, which are to the 13th of April, no intelligence had been received of the fAilure of the agent, and the Government consequently was not aware of the efforts it would speedily be called upon to make...-. It appears, however, that an individual in Bogota, deputed by the agents, had been instructed to press the Government very strongly to complete the requisite arrangements for the payment of the dividends, but after repeated applications he could only succeed in obtaining the , following ,official, 'but vague and unsatisfactory, reply from the Secretary of State for the Finance Department REPUBLIC OF COLOMBIA. FINANCE DEPARTMENT. BOGOTA, Aran, b, 18e6. The Government, not neglecting to avail itself of all the means in its power to fulfil the engagements entered into with the house of Messrs. B. A. Goldsohinidt and Cu., of London, which firm you represent, one of its first cares has been to•send (tnandor) the fluids for the payment of the interest on the loan of 4,740,000/., four months before the'term stipulated, in Conformity with its engagement. Fur this purpose the Government has transmitted instructions to the Minister of the Republic residing in London, and I can assure you, Sir, that relying on his fulfillment of them, I doubt not that they, will be punctually paid, as well in the first period which is approaching, as in those which succeed it ; since even the delay has been foreseen which may have taken place in the payment of the bills drawn, and negotiated for this purpose in Peru. Further, this subject has occupied the consideration of the Legislative Body, whose dispositions, united with the interest taken in it by the Government, are an assurance of the credit of the Republic ; and you, Sir, may feel confidently assured, that the first, difficulties being overcome, the future payment of the dividends will be regulated in a fixed and permanent manner, !east hesitation or delay. This I am v' ch l a ti r i g o e u t t l by the t4e eeGovnernmen t to say to you in reply to your letter of the *7th ult. God guard you. J. M. del CASTILLO. It is evident from this letter that the Colombian Finance Mi nister has fallen into the error of supposing that the Minister here had funds at his command, and that the Peruvian Deputies who came to England for that purpose, had been able to raise moue) for the discharge Of the debt owed by Peru to Colombia. This expectation, in both instances, is now well known to be quite un founded. There seems little doubt, therefore, that the .dividend which is due on' the 15th inst. txmnot be paid, and unites the Colombian Government has a large reserve fund in Bogota, a loag period must elapse before the requisite means can be provided. We learn by the letters from Carthagena, that an intention existed on the part of the Government to appropriate one-half of the Custom-house duties received there and at La Guayra, to the payment of the interest on the foreign debt ; but it ought to he stated, however painful to the interested, that there was not much prospect of large receipts crippled situation into which trade had fallen. The character of the Government, if we May judge from its public acts, 'stands too high not to ensure the most strenuous exertions for the establishment of its credit; but the resources of the country are too limited, and its state too unsettled, not to make an appeal to the people for great sacrifices a subject of serious appreitentiou.

The Aus trian Observer of the lath June states, that the conference. be tween the Russian and Turkish Couunissaries, on the boundaries of both Empires, were to be opened on the 18th July. The positive news of the departure of Lord Cochrane for Greece, has produced considerable sensation here. None believe in the atthen ticity of the letter ascribed to this Naval Commander k they say he could not write such nonsense; the remarks of The Courier on this subject are considered perfetly just. It is rumoured that one of the ships which are to join Lord Cochrane, on his route, was fitted out at Antwerp. The Committee of Philhellene., at Liege, have purchased for the Greeks 500 - stand of fire-arms, which have been already sent off, probably on board this vessel. The latest news from Batavia is not quite 40 favourable as the former was. The rebels continue their mode of warfare in guerillas, and the advantages obtained over them are trifling, and without any decided result. Nothing official has transpired as to the account given by Al. Van der Capellen to the King, concern ing the state of affairs at Java. The powers conferred on the new Commissary-General are very extensive, be being authorised to act as the King himself would, were be on the spot." The Jamaica mail, which arrived yesterday morning, brought advices from Lima down to the sth of March, by which it appears that his Majesty's ship Briton kit - Callao,:for England, on the 14th of February, with General RoDIL on board. She was to touch at Val paraiso and Rio de Janeiro, on her way home. ,The. Cambridge, Capt. MA LING, was lying at Callao, ind the Blanche frigate was daily expected from Chili. Great rejoicings had taken place, on the fall of Callao and Chiloe, the latter being the - last hold of the,Spa niards round Cape Horn. BOLIVAR arrived in Lima, the beginning of February, and he was still residing in , the neighbourhood ; but report stated, that immediately after the Congress, which was shortly to assemble, "it was his intention to return to Columbia. The first question expected to come under the discussion of the Congress, was the commerce of the country. Mr. Ricketts, the British Consul, had entered upon his official functions, and great hopes were entertained, that, through his influence, some alteration might take place in their present high duties. The port of Callao was again open for business, and several vessels had already discharged there. A letter from Carthagena, dated April 18th, states that a French frigate has -arrived at that port from Brest, bringing Commissioners from France for the Panama Congress. An extract published in the Mer cantile Advertiser, says it is reported that they are also authorised to negociate a treaty with Colombia, and that it is believed that Spain is much more favour ably disposed towards South America than heretofore. PIRA CRUZ, APRIL 18. On Sunday, the 16th instant, arrived in this port the French frigate La Nymph, having on board a bearer of dispatches for the Government of Mexico. It is said that the recognition of the independence of Mexico by France is the object of the miseion. •rau. $6. The French frigate Nymph is still lying here, having brought out Commissioners with powers to treat and acknowledge the independence of the Mexican Government.

The Alcide had on board 337 slaves ; she is under French colours, and is re ported to be from Cape Lopes, and bound to Marti'. pique, but it is strongly suspected that her destination was Cuba. The ship Hall, CLARKE, arrived at Montego Bay on the 21st of April last from Liver pool, was fallen in with near Madeira, , by a piratical vessel, which fired,several rounds of grape-shot into her, when, finding the Hall to be unarmed, she came up and boarded. The pirates plundered the ship of part of her cargo, consisting of plantation stores, beef, pork, &c., and carried oil' the whole of Captain CLARKE'S clothes. She was a large top-sail schooner, painted black, and her crew appeared to be a medley irony various countries. The Martinique Gazette, of April 18, contains a royal ordinance of the French Government, of Feb. 11, regulating the trade of the Islands of Guadeloupe and Martinique with foreign countries. This ordi nance takes effect the Ist of July next.

We received,last night New Xork Papers to the 2d of June, from which we make the following ex tracts, representing that an insurrection had take" place in Colombia:— By the ship Charleston, from Curacoa, we have re ceived papers to the 6th May. The insurrection in Colombia, the account of which we publish e d a few days ago, has also reached Curacoa through,the Dutob Consul at Laguira. CURACOA, MAY 10.—Some very serious disturb' ances took place lately in Valencia, which amount' to the following:— .1 " Gen. Part, in consequence of some violent proceedings against a few citizens of Caraccas, was impeached by the monis pality, and the subject being referred to the Congress, it Wee deemed proper to call him to an account at Bognto,, and he was therefore ordered to give over the command to Gene ral Escalonne; he a pparently feigned to obey, but a gene ral cry on the part of his troops, that they would acknowledge no othtr Chief than the Liberator himself , or Pats, convinced the people that there was a secret ; flaChiDlitiClA . at hand, which soon after broke forth in professions of 460,0 against the Central Government, and a change of Officers on,the part of the military government. • What could the Civil Magis trates and the unarmed citizens do against a clan of bayonets ? temporarily to conform , appeared the most prudent dictates' u nl ,, hearing from the capital.

' (From the Moth of June 19.) CONSTANTINOII34 MAY 26.—.0n the 19th May Mr. S. Can ning sent his Dragoman to the 'Reis Effendi, to deiire a categorical answer to his preceding proposals in favour of the Greeks, which had hitherto been put off with the verbal declaration of the Reis Effendi, " that the Porte would never treat with rebels." This time the Minister answered the Dragoman that he would lay the demand of the English Ambassador before the Divan and Councir of State. The letters from the Archipelago say, that the neighbouring islands have promised Hydra to defend, with all their might, that , bulwark of Greece. But the Chiefs appear to be much divided on the question of the continuation of the war. A considerable part of the National Assembly at Epidaurus, resolved to give to Mr. S. Canning full powers, in due form, to offer to the Sultan the submission of Greece upon certain conditions, but these con. ditions are of such a nature that it is impartible to hope, under present circumstances, that they will be accepted by the Porte. Demetrius Ypsilanti' has issued a protest against-this step, which has produced a great effect. Meantime• the war continues. FRONTIKAS OF WALACHIA, JUN= 10.....LetteES, worthy of credit, dated Bucharest, June 8, announce that the Porte, after having ordered the evacuation of the Principalities by the Beshlis, and just when the Hospodar was beginning to act with more li berty, has drawn upon him fur the sum of 800,800 piastres by means of his son, who is actually a hostage at Constantinople. The Hospodar at first protested against the payment : it is said, however, that he hal since paid part of the sum, probably out of fear for the fate of his son. It is generally believed that this mea sure is an expedient invented by the Divan, to render the evacua tion of the Prin6palities in some degree illusory, and to con tinue the exertions by which alone the Porte can meet the extra ordinary expences which the present exigencies require. Pious, JUNE 28.—M. Lemonley, Member of the French Aca demy, died yesterday evening, after a few days illness, which had no appearance of so melancholy a result. M. Lemonley was born at Lyons about 1760. (From the Quotidianne.) PARIS, JUNE 27.—The supplementary investigation in the affair of Ouvrard is proceeding with great activity, and every day the Chancellor, and the Members whom he has associated with him, ,hear the accused and the witnesses, and there is every rea son to believe that the Commission will soon lay before the Peers the result of its labours. During this time the Chamber of Peers pursues its labour. as a branch of the Legislature. A general discontent has manifested itself in the Hereditary Chamber, on the situation in which it is plaited every year, to vote without the possibility of examination of the _most important law of the state—viz. the Budget. It is memo rable that the aristocratic power should he deprived of the con trout of the law which unctions the land-tax, and, if there were not in that Chamber a profound respect for the Royal proposi tion, it would reject a project which each of the members cannot conscientiously examine. The Duke de Bressac will on Thursday make his report on the budget. The Ministers would have desired greater celerity, but it is said that the Noble Reporter stated, that if it was impossible fur the Chamber to discuss the budget, it was at least fitting that the Member appointed to examine it should have time to form an opinion before he presented it to the Chamber. After the budget, the Peers will again inset as a Council of Justice, to decide on the result of the Commission in the affair of Ouvrard. It is thought that the Court will decide this year, unless there should not be a sufficient number of Members to vote. It is said this evening that passports are refused to Peers, in order to keep them at Paris. PRICES Of STOCKS VII Bank Stock . ....... 3 per Cent. Red 79% 8 7% 3 per Cent. Cons SI per Cent.
